Arachnids

Gladiator "web-throwing" spider (Deinopis sp.)

(ENG) The gladiator spider can make an expandable sticky web like a net. When an insect passes below it, it stretches out the net, lunges downwards and flings the net over the prey. Usually the gladiator spider make these webs standing on top of a big and clean leaf in order to avoid catching leaf litter in the trap.
